In India’s sprawling national election, spanning from the Himalayan peaks to the Andaman’s tropical shores, officials are employing a remarkable array of transportation methods to distribute electronic voting machines. Helicopters, buses, trucks, boats, donkeys, and mules are traversing jungles, mountain tracks, and rivers, transforming remote tents, shipping containers, and school buildings into polling stations. The massive seven-phase election, involving over 1.4 billion people, commenced last week and concludes on June 1, with nearly 970 million voters casting their ballots for 543 Parliament members. The votes will be tallied on June 4.
